Why Do Drivers Receive Traffic Challans?
Most traffic challans are issued for everyday violations that are easy to avoid. These include overspeeding, riding without a helmet, not wearing a seat belt, jumping traffic signals, using a mobile phone while driving, driving without valid insurance, expired PUC certificates, illegal parking, or driving without a valid licence. Understanding these common violations can help you drive more responsibly and reduce the chances of future fines.
